It certainly did for me - there are times when I have felt exactly as you mention. I'm not sure that I really have any wise words except for one thing - keep talking to your DH, and try and explain how you feel. Be honest - what you feel is very real, and if you don't talk then that is when the resentments and misunderstanding begin to build a barrier. As an ANT I spend some time with parents talking about changes in roles, and the impact having kids will have. After all the discussion I ask the parents what they feel is important - and the word that nearly always crops up is communication.
